Suede Wedding Pumps – I Do

Nothing says autumn to me like a good pair of suede booties. Especially for an outdoor wedding, I think the suede element is a must. It’s luxurious and elegant yet natural and soft. While I think booties may be a little too much for your wedding day (though power to those brides who can pull it off!), I couldn’t resist recommending green suede pumps for this wedding. And these cuties – note the platform for comfort – are a great option for a forest wedding bride.

Even when window shopping online, I have a hard time picking out things I know I can’t afford. I mean, maybe the things I lust after are a little more expensive than I’d normally buy but nothing overly extravagant (most of the time at least). So while these green suede pumps are a practical price, I couldn’t help but notice this similar style made by Miu Miu. I mean it is your wedding day, so should you save or splurge on your shoes? I say splurge.

An Outdoor Forest Wedding

With Fall just around the corner, I’m inspired to plan an outdoor wedding. Just imagining all that rich foliage and greenery - with Christmas trees coming indoors soon after! - gets me excited. So this week I’m planning an outdoor, forest wedding utilizing all the natural shades of green for the wedding color palette.

This Salt Lake City wedding takes place in the perfect outdoor venue for the Fall. I like how this couple stepped away from the typical, waterfront-view outdoor wedding ceremony location and opted for something a little more rustic and autumnal. The trees, the stones, the circle of flower petals - I love it all.

And look at these lanterns hanging from the trees. If I didn’t already love the location, that definitely would have won me over.

Also, I can’t help but think of Snow White and Sleeping Beauty. I know it may sound weird, but they both met their husbands (princes in fact so even better) in the middle of a forest which makes this setting seem that much more romantic.

White Outdoor Wedding Venue

In a black and white wedding, the white should not be forgotten. And this venue is to die for. This Laguna Beach destination wedding has an amazing view, but brides don’t worry - the essence of this wedding venue could be recreated anywhere. Whether you hire professional or attempted to do it yourself, this fabric draped wedding tent could be your wedding venue.

I love how romantic the fabric and flower petal aisle are. Plus the huge vases of flowers at both ends of the aisles are enough to convince me. Toss containers of white flowers and rented white furniture everywhere and you could create the crisp, clean white wedding venue wherever you and your guests may be. And all that white really makes the sharp black details pop.

Shabby Chic Wedding Inspiration

Call it shabby chic, backyard chic or unrefined elegance – it doesn’t matter to me. I’m drawn to every detail in these types of wedding. Here is the inspiration board for this week’s shabby chic wedding.
